Devil Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Anyone know where I can get the two inlet manifold gaskets from by the weekend if possible cheaper than Nissan dealer as they want £60 each plus the VAT. I did say I wanted the gaskets and not the whole manifold but the price was still the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest waftycranker Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Hi, I have a spare pair that you can have if your anywhere near Manchester,parts got duplicated during an engine rebuild.I take it you mean manifold to head?Allow about 6 hours to do the job. And the odd skinned knuckle!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Posted June 25, 2003 Author Share Posted June 25, 2003 Hi waftycranker, Yep the're the ones I am after. The ones which sit on the bottom of the 'V'. So that 6 hours does that include removing cambelt and plenum etc. That seems a bit quick to me! Are you superman in disguise? How much did you want posted as I am no where near Manchester. Thanks.

Those parts are about $55 ea. from Courtesy in the states.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Posted June 26, 2003 Author Share Posted June 26, 2003 but the inlet has the top idle pulley on it and thats the bit i'm replacing. i guess i dont need to remove the rest but i think i'll allow a bit longer. I'm in Cambridge by the way.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andyduff Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Originally posted by waftycranker Well ya can get all the inlet out without removin all the cambelt etc etc!!i done it in about that time!! Clark Kent i aint!!! and where abouts are ya,if ya want them postin? Nope ;) As devil says, the upper idler pulley is mounted to the lower intake. If you remove the lower intake without removing the belt, your timing will probably go to pot because the belt will slip. Why not do a 60k service while you're there? ;) CheerZ, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
